It’s a danger to your system, as well as to your privacy. That’s right. Apart from everything the tool throws your way, it also threatens your private life. The Trojan follows specific programming. Once it invades your PC, it begins to keep track of your browsing. It monitors your online activities quite close. But it doesn’t stop at just spying on you. Oh, no. It also keeps a record of your every move. Then, after it determines it has gathered sufficient data, it gets worse. The tool sends it to strangers. The third-parties that published the program, to be exact. These are unknown individuals with questionable intentions. And, they get a hold of your personal and financial information. Do you think there’s even a single scenario where that ends well for you? Don’t be naive. Don’t fool yourself but protect yourself! Keep your privacy away from strangers with agendas!

How did I get infected with?
Trojans are sneaky infections. They not only invade your system, but do it undetected. Usually, under the guise of the old but gold means of infiltration. Like, freeware. It’s one of the easiest access points. That’s because users don’t pay as enough attention as they should during its install. They don’t even bother to read the terms and conditions. Instead, they agree to everything in haste, and pray for the best. Don’t rely on hope. Rely on caution! Do your due diligence! Don’t just say ‘Yes!’ If you’re thorough and vigilant, you can catch the infection in the act. And, prevent it from getting your okay on its install. Remember, cyber threats prey on carelessness. So, don’t provide it. Instead, turn to attentiveness. Take your time, and be thorough. Sometimes even a little extra vigilance goes a long, long way. It saves you a ton of troubles and headaches in the future.
Why is this dangerous?
As soon as Trojan.multi.proxy.changer.gen slithers in, issues ensue. The Trojan begins to spread its nastiness throughout your system. It starts by changing your registry entry. Thus, making sure to launch on your PC without bothering to ask your permission. It’s the first step of taking over your system altogether. The program can also switch off any and all Firewall and antivirus tools you may keep on your PC. That way, it’s free to wreak havoc, and install as many more malware as it so desires. Also, as was already explained, the Trojan is also spies on you. It steals information from you to then send it to strangers. We’re talking about passwords, credit card numbers, bank accounts, etc. All things, you’d rather remain private. But it doesn’t end there. Trojan.multi.proxy.changer.gen has some ransomware-type capabilities. The tool has the capacity to encrypt your data. It locks your files, and then extorts you for money. The sum they request tends to hover in the hundreds. Somewhere between 500 and 1000 US Dollars. In no case, a small amount. But, even if it were, you still shouldn’t pay. Even if the nasty infection asks you for a single dollar, refuse payment. It’s the better alternative. Do yourself a favor, and don’t allow your predicament to escalate that far. As soon as you realize the tool lurks on your system, act! And do it sooner rather than later! Trojan.multi.proxy.changer.gen bodes nothing good. Keep it out of your PC.
